Let's ramble. So, in retrospect 2011 wasn't all that bad.
We were looking for a friend in February and found this girl on a cold, rainy day. She now weighs fifty pounds and is highly allergic to fleas. She says "outside" and "groan," and sighs often, which are three things I've taught her well. I never wanted a dog, but I must admit, she is 2011's best addition. (Second place goes to Turtledy the turtle, who delights me.)

I'll be brief. At the onslaught of 2011, I took myself off some medication that wasn't suited for me. It was simultaneously the best and worst thing I've ever done. I think in a way I took a leap of faith. I am better for it. We started taking trips to museums, to local attactions, slept in a wig-wam, spotted all kinds of dinosaurs.
People turned five years old. Three years old, 27, 28, and we celebrated
We bought a house.
This summer, I think we'll swim outside instead.
She wanted to ride a train, so we did and we met the Easter Bunny.
I'm so much better than I was at the beginning of 2011. I'm not sad to see the year go, I'm not certain that I made the most of it, but I think I did the best I could with the pieces. Seeing these pictures shows me that there was so much good during those 12 months that I shouldn't give credit to regret for having any part of this year. We managed well. We came out on top of a season that sought to destroy us, where instead it molded and shaped us into something stronger. I can be very proud of that.
I am really excited to be the best I can be this year.
